This process falls within the services industry category, specifically under legal services (CPV code: 79100000), and has been classified as a selective procurement method, using a restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 27th February 2018, with the contract being awarded on 30th March 2018 and set to run from 11th April 2018 to 11th April 2022. The total contract value is £3,500,000, and delivery addresses include locations within the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for legal firms, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale legal matters or with experience in providing services to public sector entities.

Businesses specialising in legal services, especially those familiar with the operational needs of NHS organisations, would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts and expand their portfolio in public procurement.
